Diff rendering already exists
Edit tool has renderDiff function for code changes visualization
Output
✓ Diff Rendering Already Exists!
Current Implementation
The Edit tool already renders diffs when input.details contains oldString and newString:
// dashboard-console.ts:2483-2484 if (input.details && input.details.oldString && input.details.newString) { appendRichContent(renderDiff(oldString, newString, filePath)); }
renderDiff() Output
konui/src/router.ts - send("output", { text: ` → ${truncated}` }); + send("output", { text: truncated, output: event.output });
Shows up to 30 lines with red (-) deletions and green (+) additions
However...
The diff only renders if konsole sends the details. Let me check if konsole is passing oldString/newString in the Edit tool events.
What's Next?
I'll check if konsole's stream.ts is extracting and sending diff details for Edit tool calls. If not, that's why you're not seeing nice diffs.
